Some even come bundled with decent programs that can be used for colouring.However, Paint Shop Pro is probably the 2nd most used program by illustrators (2nd to Photoshop) and by far a much cheaper program. The real question I'd ask is whether your brother-in-law wants to work with colour. I'm a freelance artist and I HATE working in colour for 2D pieces. I also know for a fact that I'm not the only freelancer who feels this way. The feeling of 'wasted cash' and/or heightened expectations of the people around your brother-in-law would be extremely unfair if he never had any intention of working in colour. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying don't encourage his art or anything, all I'm saying is try to make sure you're encouraging him in the directions he's going.</blockquote>
